Yet another micro film...

This was mainly to test the workflow when using my new EOS7d

Planning 1 minute
Filming 10 Minutes
Post production about two hours (including time to look for sounds and music)

Shot on an EOS 7D
Edited in Premiere Elements 8
VFX in FXHome Vision Lab
Music from Chris Worth Productions
Head Explosion from Detonation Films

I spent a while trying different editing codecs, but in the end i edited the footage using the eos' native h264 in premeiere.

Exported uncompressed AVI to VisionLab

I tweaked the contrast in premiere, no other attempt at grading.

Your honest and blunt comments are perfectly correct. It took a month to decide to post it here, i wasn't going to because i knew it wasn't really good enough, but i thought what the hell... I didnt get the angles i wanted to do the head shot properley, i was tempted to go into photoshop and try and do something with it frame by frame, but chose not to. I did have a layer with blood splatters, but it didn't seem to work so i removed it. I may try again at this shot. As said, it was mainly a workflow test, codecs, filesize, jumping between programs etc, getting it on to youtube while retaining some of the original quality. Time to defend the choice of eos7d. I am not one for getting caught up in trends but... I have been using slrs for 20 years and the EOS range for 15 of those years. My eos 300d needed replacing and i wanted a 35mm adapter for my hv20. A 7d seemed the logical choice. It is a lovely camera and make me happy just holding it

Being honest and blunt, the head exploding effect looks a bit fake because it is quite visible where you have masked it to get rid of his head and, personally, I think that there should be more blood. The gun shot effect was alright, but nothing special. I really like the shot 14 seconds in (the one of the feet walking into shot), as well as the zoom at 24 seconds in. Someone else has said it before and it'll probably get said again later but it seems like everyone is using the 7D at the moment.
